They’re praying to pass a bill that kicks 15 million off health care and starves children so a handful of billionaires pay less tax.
That’s what Jesus would do.
If André Carson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Lateefah Simon all prayed together in the House at one of the 5 daily prayers, during a vote, would the USA shrug?
That’s not what that means. Separation of church and state simply means that the law doesn’t favor one religion over another. What you’re thinking of is the French formulation, known as laicite, which—you guessed it—is a French thing. It’s also based on some pretty problematic ideas that lead and have led to some pretty problematic results, so yeah.
For a non-French example, he’s the Australian constitution on the topic:
The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
Nothing at all about lawmakers publicly adhering to a religion.
I think it’s because these are people with the power to do more than thoughts and prayers. But they just stick with that while also taking health care off veterans and giving tax breaks to the rich.
I wouldn’t care. If they’re religious they’ll be following the morals and views of their religion. A little praying won’t change or harm anyone. No different to another group having a chat
Why is that infuriating? I’m not religious, but why would this not be allowed?

So holy.
These people should be more holey
Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing. Lawmakers praying inside the chamber isn’t separate at all.

Nope, it’d be another 911 to the R tards and they’d scream about it like bitchy toddlers from every podium they could find
Both Republicans and Democrats said Miller was rediculous for complaining about prayers

Actually not surprising at all

They are jackass.
But this is as educated as screaming first amendment when a mod removes a post. Wow.

That’s the power. They’re doing more.
How would most people react if that was a group of Muslims? Or if the Satanic Church tried to do a small prayer there?
Most would be fine with it. It’s done often and both parties shit on someone last month for taking issue with it.

We knew you were concern trolling. Thanks for confirming though.
We now know you will just shoot down any alternative opinion and pretend it is trolling. Thanks for confirming.
